Start with SolidGigs when repetitive freelance client/project lead hunting across sources is your bottleneck. Start with JustRemote when your primary goal is remote employment discovery and you want a public-board browsing baseline. Consider PowerSearch only as a bounded optional experiment: the checked first-party page clearly proves $6 for the first month, not a permanent $6 recurring price. Neither is a universal winner.
AlreadyChecked Verdict
SolidGigs fits freelancers paying to reduce cross-source client/project prospecting. JustRemote fits remote-employment seekers who want a public browsing baseline, with PowerSearch treated only as an optional paid discovery layer whose later recurring price was not clearly disclosed on the checked page.
| Choice | Best for | Current cost | Biggest advantage | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance clients SolidGigs | Freelancers whose bottleneck is cross-source client/project lead discovery. | $35/month or $350/year after a 14-day free trial. | Focused paid curation for independent freelance prospecting. | It does not provide a universal downstream employer, contract or payment system. |
| Public remote board JustRemote | Remote-employment seekers who want to browse current listings/categories before deciding whether extra discovery is worth paying for. | The checked public job surfaces expose browsing without presenting a candidate subscription gate before access. | Provides a lower-commitment remote-job discovery baseline. | Remote can include partially remote roles, geography/schedule restrictions remain, and employer application destinations may be third-party controlled. |
| Optional discovery layer PowerSearch | Users who want to test JustRemote's additional discovery product beyond the public board. | $6 for the first month is clearly proven on the checked first-party page. | Offers an inexpensive first-month test of the paid discovery layer. | The checked public page does not clearly disclose the recurring price after month one; do not assume permanent $6 pricing. |
Checked September 10, 2026. This receipt summarizes evidence already present on this page; it is not an A✓/CHECKED automated-verification badge.
Trust boundary: This is a manually researched editorial comparison. It is not an A✓/CHECKED automated verification record and carries no A✓/CHECKED approval badge. This support page contains no direct JustRemote merchant or affiliate destination.
Current price: 14-day free trial, then $35/month or $350/year on the checked first-party pricing surface.
Model: paid freelance-lead discovery and curation across multiple sources; matching leads route users to the original source to pitch.
Candidate access: current public job surfaces expose listings, categories and applicant-location filters without presenting a candidate subscription gate before browsing.
Model: remote-job discovery across broad categories, including roles that can be fully or partially remote.
Current verified offer: $6 for the first month with unlimited access, cancel-anytime and no-contract wording.
Important limit: the checked public page does not clearly disclose the recurring price after the first month.
SolidGigs currently advertises a 14-day free trial, $35 monthly access and $350 annual billing displayed as roughly a $29/month equivalent. It says matching gigs are added to the user's dashboard and email, then the freelancer follows the original source to pitch. SolidGigs says it does not force users into its ecosystem or take a percentage of client pay.
SolidGigs' current Terms require cancellation before the trial ends to avoid the selected-plan charge and do not guarantee refunds or prorated adjustments for late cancellation or at another point. Cancel-anytime marketing and refund rights are separate.
JustRemote's current public job surfaces expose live roles, categories and applicant-location filters without presenting a candidate subscription gate before browsing. PowerSearch is a separate optional product.
PowerSearch currently advertises $6 for the first month, unlimited access, cancel anytime and no contracts. AlreadyChecked did not find a clear current first-party disclosure of the recurring price after month one on the checked page. Do not convert the first-month offer into a permanent $6 monthly price.
JustRemote currently charges employers $189 for a 30-day job listing. That is employer-side acquisition pricing. It is not candidate pricing for the public board and it does not establish PowerSearch's post-first-month recurring price.
PowerSearch says companies advertise only 30% of their openings and that JustRemote helps surface the remaining 70%. That statement may explain the product's positioning, but it is a provider-controlled market/inventory claim. AlreadyChecked has not independently normalized the remote-job market to prove that exact split, exclusivity or inventory superiority.
JustRemote's current employer form explicitly accepts both fully remote and partially remote roles and says a listing must allow at least two remote-working days per week. Current job surfaces also preserve applicant-location and minimum working-hour-overlap requirements. A remote label does not automatically mean work from anywhere.
JustRemote's employer form includes an open-ended “How should people apply” field rather than proving one universal hosted application path. Its Terms separately state that JustRemote does not control linked non-JustRemote websites. Treat downstream employer/application privacy, security, accuracy and hiring terms as a separate boundary.
JustRemote's current contact page says it will never contact users directly offering remote work and tells users to block and report people claiming to be JustRemote recruiters. That is useful impersonation guidance. It does not prove every platform listing or recruiter interaction is universally safe.
JustRemote's published Terms and Privacy Policy both display an Updated January 5, 2020 date. Current live product surfaces therefore control present PowerSearch pricing and workflow facts where those older documents omit newer features. The older Terms still matter for boundaries such as third-party links and platform control.
Commercial boundary: this comparison contains no direct JustRemote merchant destination. No current project-controlled evidence proves JustRemote referral enrollment, issued-link, attribution or payout custody. SolidGigs-qualified readers can continue to our governed SolidGigs research page; affiliate economics are excluded from the ranking.
AlreadyChecked verdict: No universal winner. SolidGigs fits freelancers paying to reduce cross-source client-lead hunting. JustRemote fits remote-job seekers who want public-board discovery and may optionally test PowerSearch while keeping first-month pricing, location and downstream-application limits explicit.
